The 76ers' offense was much more powerful than that of the Bucks, Snow received a pass from Iverson in the bottom corner, did not shoot immediately, but took two steps to the basket, and then used a small throw to help the team score two points, and the ball returned to the Bucks.

After Cassel brought the ball to the front court, Thomas moved to the top of the arc for the first time to make a cover for him, Cassel did not hesitate at all, and went to the basket with the cover, but before Mutombo stepped forward to defend, he made a pass from the back of his head and directly gave the ball to Thomas, who was still standing at the top of the arc, and Lewis was the first to go up when he saw this situation.

Looking at Lewis who was waiting in front of him, Thomas smiled and made a breakthrough pose. Lewis clearly knows a lot, and he bends slightly to lower his center of gravity and keep a half-step distance from Thomas, which is to prevent him from breaking through, and if Thomas wants to shoot on the spot, he can also step forward to interfere in the first place.

But Thomas didn't give him a chance, and after a series of tentative steps, he stepped back and threw straight up. Lewis has been nervous by his previous tentative step, when Thomas stepped back to shoot he can be said to be completely caught off guard, this time it is too late to pounce, Thomas's height is almost the same as him, but the athleticism is very strong, and Lewis himself is not known for defense, he is afraid that he will be fouled by the opponent after the whole person pounces, so he can only try his best to stretch his arms to the limit length, hoping to block Thomas's shooting vision a little.

Unfortunately, it all came to naught, with Thomas completely ignoring his defense and throwing the ball out without hesitation, as if he had believed that the shot would be able to hit before he even made it. In fact, everything was following Thomas's script, and several people under the basket did not get a chance to grab a rebound at all, and the basketball once again penetrated the 76ers' basket.

Lewis looked frustrated, he really did his best, but Thomas was completely unaffected. Although his interference had been made, it didn't seem to have any effect. Lewis couldn't help but think of the first time the two faced each other in a match, when he felt that Thomas's defense was insurmountable, just as he was against him now. What did you do at the time? It seems like it's running and running, but it's offense, so what do you do when you defend? Lewis had no clue at all, and he couldn't even ask his teammates because they didn't know what to do.

Chang Wei watched all this scene on the sidelines, and he could only smile helplessly because he knew Lewis well. In fact, he never had any hope for Lewis's defense, and being able to ensure that he does not lose his position is already the highest requirement for him, and it will be difficult for Lewis to defend against Thomas. Chang Wei knows very well what Thomas's strength is, and Carl's lack of a three-point shooting tactic specifically for him does not mean that this guy is easy to match, and it is not too easy for him to score in front of Lewis.

In Chang Wei's view, the only thing Lewis can do is to make up for the lost points on the offensive end, otherwise he will basically lose all the points here. Although Lewis was suggested by Chang Wei to be traded to the team, he is actually best suited to play in a pure offensive team, such as the Bucks who are now standing opposite the team, presumably Carl will like this kind of projection power forward, after all, Lewis looks more like a shooter than a shooter, and Thomas looks at least like an interior lineman.

Lewis naturally understands this truth, and when it was the 76ers' turn to attack, he took the initiative to ask for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the wing. However, under Thomas's physical contact, Lewis's shot was ridiculously crooked, smashed directly on the rebound, and was held in Johnson's arms. Seeing that his shot missed, Lewis slapped his thigh hard, and his chagrin was overflowing, if Thomas would hit the shot again later, the gap between back and forth would be relatively large.

Soon Lewis's face darkened, he was really afraid of something, and the Bucks players saw that the head coach did not speak, and they all consciously gave the ball to Thomas. Although it wasn't a three-pointer this time, Thomas still dribbled the ball steadily, forced Lewis to come near the three-second zone, and sent the ball into the basket with a small hook hand that he half turned.

With Thomas' goal, the difference between the two sides has reached four points, and the situation could be reversed at any time. You must know that before these two rounds, the 76ers were ahead of their opponents by as many as 9 points, and scoring one more goal could stretch the difference to double digits, but I didn't expect that after a few rounds, Lewis shot and hit the iron by himself, and let Thomas score 5 points in a row, and the lead was eaten away at once, which made Brown on the sidelines shake his head and wanted to replace Lewis.

But after thinking about it carefully, Brown had to suppress the power of the wilderness in his body, and replacing Lewis was simple, the key was who to put on top. If Hill had been on the court, the interior defense and rebounding could have been further strengthened, but Thomas had already shown a good shooting touch, and Hill couldn't prevent his shooting at all. Mason's swing to the number four position is another option, but he doesn't have enough height and weight, and Thomas can't easily drop low in the back singles at any time.

Although Lewis's three-point shot was a bit outrageous, it was still a very important scoring point for the team, and as long as he can help his teammates pull the space they need to attack on the court, then Brown's goal has been achieved. In fact, many times Brown does not need Lewis to cut forty or fifty points in a single game, he only needs to hit and shoot when the team needs it, and many times his existence is the greatest deterrent to the opponent, which is also the greatest value of his existence.

The only hope for Brown now is for Lewis not to be influenced by Thomas and play his part on the offensive end so that he can make up for the points lost on the defensive end. Brown hasn't found a good way to deal with Thomas right now, and can only hope that his players will shoot more shots on the offensive end as long as they can score more shots than their opponents.

However, Lewis's defense really needs to be strengthened! Thinking of this, Brown turned to Chang Wei and said, "Chang, I hope you can build Rashad into an above-average defender this offseason, I think it will help the team more." Whether we win the title this season or not, a defender of Rashad will be of higher value. ”

Listening to Brown's request, Chang Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes: Why don't we just start the transaction?
